Reynolds Consumer Products Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Strong Demand Continues

Pricing to Offset Additional Cost Increases

Accelerating Reyvolution Cost Savings

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. (“Reynolds,” “RCP” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: REYN) today reported results for the third quarter 2021 ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

• Net Revenues of $905 million, up 10% over Q3 prior year net revenues
• Net Income of $66 million; Adjusted Net Income of $70 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of $132 million
• Earnings Per Share of $0.31; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.33

Net revenues increased 10% on top of record third quarter net revenues in 2020, reflecting pricing to offset increased material costs, strong underlying demand across our business, and approximately two percentage points from a one-time sale of excess raw materials. Net income was $66 million, down 42% versus last year’s net income, and Adjusted EBITDA was $132 million, down 31% versus last year’s Adjusted EBITDA as price increases lagged increases in material, labor and logistics costs, partially offset by lower SG&A.

“We implemented pricing as planned and delivered another solid quarter in spite of increased staffing and logistics challenges and correspondingly higher labor and logistics costs,” said Lance Mitchell, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The capacity additions we undertook last year are strengthening our business, and we are taking a wide range of actions in order to return to pre-pandemic levels of profitability. Our third round of pricing actions was implemented as planned, and a fourth round of pricing goes into effect in early 2022. We are aggressively managing all controllable costs and accelerating investment in automation and other Reyvolution programs to improve our long-term cost structure. These and all of our recovery actions reflect our experience generating dependable volume, earnings and cash flow and our confidence in a pronounced recovery in profitability when inflation moderates.”

Segment Results

Reynolds Cooking & Baking

• Net revenues increased $43 million, or 15%
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased $7 million, or -11%

Net revenues increased 15%, 11 percentage points of which came from price increases with the remainder driven by a one-time sale of excess raw materials. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 11%, as price increases lagged increases in material costs.

Excluding the benefit of the one-time sale of excess materials, volume was down approximately 2% due to lapping of last year’s heightened consumption.

New products, including Reynolds Wrap Everyday Non-stick Foil and Reynolds Wrap 100% Recycled Foil, continued to perform well, contributing to record third quarter net sales for Reynolds Cooking & Baking and continued share strength in foil and other Reynolds categories.

Hefty Waste & Storage

• Net revenues increased $28 million, or 13%
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased $28 million, or -43%

Net revenues increased 13%, driven by price increases and a 2% volume increase. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 43%, as increases in material and labor costs outpaced price increases, partially offset by higher volume.

Volume was up as household demand remained strong, and our waste bag business continued to benefit from innovation.

We successfully implemented a second round of price increases across the Hefty portfolio, and our brands continued to perform very well, contributing to record third quarter net sales for Hefty Waste & Storage. The Hefty portfolio was also expanded to new users through Hefty Fabuloso®, demonstrating continued strength in the quarter, and Hefty EnergyBag® with expansion to the Greater Atlanta market. The Hefty EnergyBag® program is now available to nearly 1.4 million households across the United States.

Hefty Tableware

• Net revenues increased $4 million, or 2%
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased $18 million, or -42%

Net revenues increased 2%, driven by price increases, partially offset by a volume decline of 4%. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 42%, as price increases lagged increases in material, labor and logistics costs.

Labor shortages at third-party suppliers continued to adversely impact volume, more than offsetting continued strength from higher everyday usage, social gatherings and innovation.

Hefty ECOSAVE™ tableware continued to expand distribution and is now the number one sustainable brand in disposable tableware, according to IRI. Hefty 28oz food storage containers, cutlery, and private label party cups are also demonstrating strong growth and also contributed to an increased innovation benefit in the quarter.

Presto Products

• Net revenues increased $15 million, or 11%
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased $14 million, or -50%

Net revenues increased 11%, driven by price increases, slightly offset by a 1% volume decline. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 50%, as price increases lagged increases in material, labor and logistics costs.

Presto volume was down 1%, reflecting import delays and lower business to business product sales for the quarter, partially offset by improving food bag category trends and improved Presto private label food bag share.

Presto posted strong share performance across private label waste and food bags and continues to advance in innovation, launching four consumer and five business to business innovations in the quarter.

Year to Date 2021 Highlights

• Net Revenues of $2,534 million, up 7% over prior year net revenues
• Net Income of $220 million; Adjusted Net Income of $228 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of $420 million
• Earnings Per Share of $1.05; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $1.09

Net revenues increased 7%, driven by price increases and lower levels of trade promotion. Net income decreased 12%, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 19%, as price increases and lower levels of trade promotion lagged increases in material, labor and logistics costs, partially offset by lower SG&A.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

• At September 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were $70 million, and our outstanding debt was $2,117 million, resulting in net debt of $2,047 million.
• Capital expenditures were $101 million (includes $25 million for the purchase of a previously leased manufacturing facility) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $85 million for the same period in the prior year.

Fiscal Year and Fourth Quarter Outlook

The Company is updating its previously disclosed outlook.

The Company continues to expect high single-digit revenue growth for fiscal 2021, underpinned by pricing, at-home consumption, increases in social gatherings, innovation, and retail replenishment.

The Company estimates 2021 cost pressures in excess of $450 million (previously in excess of $400 million) and has narrowed the range of expected 2021 earnings to reflect these pressures. Rates for resin have not eased since July as forecasted, and aluminum rates are higher versus July levels. Labor and logistics costs have also exceeded forecasts since July.

The Company now expects the following results for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021:

• Net revenues to grow high single digits on $3,263 million in the prior year
• Net Income to be in the range of $309 million to $324 million; Adjusted Net Income to be in the range of $321 million to $336 million
• Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $590 million to $610 million
• Earnings Per Share to be in the range of $1.47 to $1.54 per share; Adjusted Earnings Per Share to be in the range of $1.53 to $1.60 per share
• Net Debt to be approximately $1.9 billion at December 31, 2021

The Company is expecting revenue growth in the mid to high teens for its fourth quarter, driven primarily by recent price increases and anticipated volume above Q4 2020 levels.

The Company expects sequential margin improvement in the fourth quarter but continued short-term earnings pressure, primarily driven by increases in material, labor and logistics costs in excess of price increases implemented during the third quarter. The Company also assumes continued effectiveness mitigating staffing, third-party manufacturing and logistics related disruptions.

The Company expects the following results for its fourth quarter ending December 31, 2021:

• Net revenues to grow in the mid to high teens on $888 million in the prior year
• Net Income to be in the range of $89 million to $104 million; Adjusted Net Income to be in the range of $93 million to $108 million
• Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $170 million to $190 million
• Earnings Per Share to be in the range of $0.42 to $0.49 per share; Adjusted Earnings Per Share to be in the range of $0.44 to $0.51 per share

“We expect 2021 to be another year of record net revenues and are updating our previously disclosed outlook to reflect additional inflationary pressures and increased staffing and logistics related challenges,” said Michael Graham, Chief Financial Officer. “Material, labor and logistics costs have increased since July, and we have announced a fourth round of pricing effective in the first quarter of 2022. This extends the timing of full recovery of material cost increases but only strengthens our resolve to return to pre-pandemic levels of profitability. In addition to pricing, we are tightly managing all controllable costs and accelerating investment in automation and other Reyvolution cost savings programs. We intend to continue investing in growth and improvements to our cost structure and expect a pronounced recovery in profitability when inflation moderates.”

Quarterly Dividend

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per common share. The Company expects to pay this dividend on November 30, 2021, to shareholders of record as of November 16, 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” and “Net Debt” in evaluating our past results and future prospects. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude, as applicable, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and IPO and separation-related costs. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share as Net Income and Earnings Per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus, as applicable, the sum of IPO and separation-related costs, the impact of a tax legislation change under the CARES Act enacted March 27, 2020 and any unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives. We define Net Debt as the current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. In addition, our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share as supplemental metrics to evaluate our business’ performance in a way that also considers our ability to generate profit without the impact of certain items. We use Net Debt as we believe it is a more representative measure of our liquidity. Accordingly, we believe presenting these metrics provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors.

Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

Guidance for fiscal year and fourth quarter 2021, where adjusted, is provided on a non-GAAP basis, which the Company will continue to identify as it reports its future financial results. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to expected Net Income under “Fiscal Year and Fourth Quarter Outlook” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP financial results. In addition, the Company cannot reconcile its expected Net Debt to expected total debt without reasonable effort because certain items that impact total debt and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonable predicted at this time, which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP financial results.

Please see reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures used in this release (with the exception of our fourth quarter and full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA outlook and our 2021 Net Debt outlook, as described above) to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
